USIU -A Chronicles

    There is a lot of pressure on universities today to be more diverse and inclusive – not just in terms of race but also gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, social class, national origin, and more. The Nairobi Campus of United States International University (USIU), a San Diego-based college, was established in 1969. The United States International University, Nairobi Campus, became a distinct university in 1999, renaming itself USIU Africa. The university's mission is to assist individuals in better understanding, acquiring information, and developing skills for functioning in a globalized, culturally varied world. Because of its diversity, the school is seen as a friendly atmosphere for everyone interested in applying. An educational institution's inclusive purpose indicates something progressive and significant about its campus: it values diversity and will enable students to express themselves as they see fit.

Beam Building in honour of the visionary former Executive Director In 2014, the university rebranded, reverting to its former United States International University – Africa.

The Kenya Universities Sports Association (KUSA) hosts a competition every year to honor Kenyan female university athletes. As a result, 2022 will not be an exception. Basketball, volleyball, handball, netball, lawn tennis, chess, swimming, and rugby are just a few of the sports that USIU is proud to host. Coco Cola, Nairobi Sports House, School Outfitters, and Zoe were proud sponsors of this event.  Although Kenyatta university ladies took home the  overall championship trophy, all women who participated were considered winners. Celebration of women should be frequent and not dependent on one day.  Cultural week The long awaited return of cultural week is finally here.
